← Nature & AnimalsWhich photosynthetic adaptation results when CAM plants open stomata at night?
A)Enhanced carbon dioxide uptake efficiency✓
B)Increased photorespiration through Rubisco
C)Accelerated energy production via glycolysis
D)Reduced oxygen release into the atmosphere
💡 Explanation
When CAM plants open stomata at night, the temporal separation process minimizes water loss as the cooler temperatures reduce transpiration while fixing CO2 into organic acids which are then used during the day. Therefore enhanced carbon dioxide uptake efficiency results, rather than other energetic or byproduct changes which the mechanisms do not directly affect.
